t> SUCCESSFUL FRUIT CULTURE 



We may give this, therefore, as a rule or axiom 

 in fruit growing: "That the more choice fruit of any 

 kind the people have, the more they want, while the 

 more poor fruit^p^ii. ll^pn^ the market the less the 

 demand" Of course the prices, other things being 

 equal, will depend largely upon the supply and demand, 

 yet the sales are more or less well founded upon the 

 above facts. The problem, then, that confronts the fruit 

 grower of to-day is "how to grow good fruit, how to grow 

 it cheaply, how to attract buyers, and how to utilize all 

 of the products" In the future chapters of this book 

 it will be my aim to keep these points always in mind, 

 to present the latest and most practical thoughts, and 

 to show what methods progressive and successful fruit 

 growers are following, what varieties they are growing 

 and how they conduct their business.
